Best Christmas Ever!...For me, at least.

This year my presents were all wrapped and numbered 1-5 under the tree and each had an envelope attached. Eric outdoes me every year. He always gets me exactly what I wanted, but really never asked for. This year I didn't ask for much. Just a new crock pot, some clothes. He went above and beyond!

I opened present #1 and found an alarm clock. He had written a poem (that was what was in the envelopes) to go with each present. Here is the first poem:

Christmas is here and the wrapping is through
And your presents all focus on the betterment of you!
So open each one, just one at a time
And discover the mysteries inside that you'll find.

This first gift will help you jump up in a whim
To quickly get dressed and then off to the gym.

The second gift was some perfume that I've been wanting from Bath and Body Works.

Once you're all hot and sweaty you must hurry home,
To shower and dress before Maya can groan.
This perfume will help you to keep smelling great,
And to make me think often of wanting to mate! (That's my husband, for ya.)

Then, the third gift was a microdermabrasion facial from a spa.

Even though I don't agree, I often hear you complain
That the wrinkles are coming and the sun is to blame.
So, you're off to the spa for some Microdermabrasion
To end the relentless wrinkle invasion.

OK. And, the next gift was so sweet, though the poem is not...I am debating about typing it. It's pretty funny.

Once you are dressed don't forget this last thing
For you won't be complete without your wedding ring.
I believe it is time to look married once more
So when you're with the kids people won't think you're a _____.(rhymes with "more")

My wedding ring has not fit since I had Hayden. It is very sad. I had asked a couple of times to get it resized, but it never happened. This gift was a total shock to me. I started crying. I love this ring! I forgot that I even owned a wedding ring, I so used to not wearing it. Now I can't stop looking at my hand. You can't see it very well in this picture, but trust me, it is gorgeous!

The last gift he gave me was Memory Mixer for digital scrapbooking

Now that I've helped you achieve signs of beauty

Scrapbooking them will become your next duty.

We've created so many wonderful memories

And I can't wait to see how each one will be.

I love you so much and am so excited for you to see

How awesome and fun this next present will be

For each gift I've given all leads up to one,

So take a deep breath, close your eyes, here it comes!!!!

So, he all of the sudden pulls out this small box, only about an inch wide. I unwrap it to find the boat piece from the monopoly game. Then, he hands me this picture of a cruise boat! That's right!! He is taking me on a cruise!! We leave on April 28th. This was really the best Christmas surprise ever. He sure knows how to give surprises.
